It was a Saturday evening. Nobody had classes Saturdays or Sundays for religious reasons. Sebastian and I decided to go have a picnic in the park. Who knew that we'd be together this long!
"How's your musical theater class going?" I asked him.
"Boring. Right now we are just going over the basics of reading music. How's soccer going?" He asked.
"Tiring. The practices get so tiring. The nice thing is that I might be a starter." I answered.
"That's nice." He nodded.
"How's things going for you and your roommate?" I brought up.
     "Um, he's a little annoying. He has his comic book club every night from 4:30 till 9:45." He explained.
     "Yikes."
     "Well, that's what you get when the computer chooses who you stay." He shrugged.
     "Sorry, but we are not getting an apartment for a year or so." I point of my finger. I knew what he was thinking.
     "I know, I know." He acted innocent. I rolled my eyes
     "I miss how high school we got to sing whenever we wanted and acted as if it were normal, but now that we're in college, I feel like people will think that is uncommon." I commented.
     "Here how about we sing that song from Christina Perri." He grinned.
     "You told me that we couldn't sing a duet?" I squinted.
     "That was graduation. This is college." He smirked. I nodded. He played the Karaoke version as he pulled me up off the ground.

Heart beats fast
Colours and promises
How to be brave?
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall?
But watching you stand alone,
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow.

One step closer

[Tessa and Sebastian:]
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid.
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

[Sebastian]
Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this

One step closer

[Tessa and Sebastian:]
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid.
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

One step closer
One step closer

[Tessa and Sebastian:]
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid.
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

    "That was more romantic than I thought." I smirked.  He leaned in and kissed me.
